Champ Or Not F
Ya Gotta Shave
It’s a crime in Cincinnati even
to grow a mustache—especially
if you are a boxer!
The city boxing commission has
ruled that world’s heavyweight
champion Ezzard Charles must
shave his mustache before meet
ing Nick Baronne of Syracuse,
N.Y. in a title bout next Tues
day in the Rhineland city.
This rule not only applies to
champions, the commission said,
but to all boxers who fight in
Cincinnati rings.
Another oddity of the fight will
be the presence of neuro surgeon
at ringside who has been study
ing brain injuries of all types.
Cincinnati is claiming to be the
only city with a neuro surgeon
attending bouts in an official
capacity.

IN IC-4A Timings
Special to the Daily Collegian
NEW YORK —Coach Norm
Gordon’s freshman cross country
team copped fourth' place in the
27th annual freshman IC-4A run
yesterday.
Running their first race since
the opening meet against Pitts
burgh in early October, the' Lion
freshmen were too inexperienced
for the well-seasoned veterans
from Syracuse, Manhattan and
Providence.
, The Orange of Syracuse copped
the team title with a score of 52
points. Manhattan finished in the
runner-up position with a score
of 108, while Providence was third
with a 109 total.
Lions Score 115
Gordon’s charges finished in the
number four position with a team
score of 115. The fourth place
finish may well have been a sec
ond had 'some of the Lion frosh
finished as expected before the
run.
Don Bagby, State’s number one
runner, took the lead at the half
mile post and set a blistering pace.
Bagby held on to the lead until
the final hundred yards when
three men passed him as he began
to falter.
Bagby finished in the fourth
position with a 15:48 time for the
three-mile course. James Byrne,
of St. John’s, with a late sprint,
captured the winning position
with a 15:39 time. Harrison Al
drich, of Massachusetts, with a
15:44 time, finished second. Tom
Coulter, of the winning Syracuse
team, was third.
Pete Judd was the second Lion
to cross the finish line, notching
the tenth spot with a 16:01 time.
Bob Hollen moved along to take
the 14th position with a 16:09
time.

Watch Pitt —Rip Cautions
By MARV KRASNANSKY
Satisfied that his gridders took
another long stride toward mas
tering the intricacies of the
winged-T in their 18-14 victory
of a tough Rutgers team Satur
day, Nittany football Coach Rip
Engle injected a note of cau
tion in the boiling football kettle
yesterday by warning that the
Lions will have to continue to im
prove if they hope to beat Pitts
burgh this week.
Not that Engle was disappoint
ed with the showing of his agents.
“The boys beat a good football
team in Rutgers,” he said. “Rut
gers is well-coached and has a
well-conceived offense.”
All-Around Improvement
Engle noted the improvement
in the offense, which produced 218
yards on the ground and 168 in
the air, and the defensive back
field of Len Shephard, George
Jacob, Chan Johnson, Bill Leon
ard, Bob Pollard, and Joe Grat
son.
There was little doubt that the
Lions produced their, best foot
ball of the year to beat a team
that had stubbornly battled un
beaten Princeton and undefeated
Lehigh before bowing.
Quarterback Vince O’Bara was
at . his best, as was Tony. Orsini.
Vince clicked on - 9 of 17 passes
for 166 yards, while Orsini pound
ed out TO6 yards in 17 attempts,
climaxing the day by darting 27
yards—twice being momentarily

Frosh End Grid
Campaign At Pill
Pehn State’s first freshman foot
ball team in nine years will con
clude its 1950 season when the
Lion, cubs meet Pitt’s undefeated
frosh squad Friday afternoon.
The game is scheduled for 2:30
and if the weather is good will be
played in Pitt stadium. If, how
ever, the weather is bad the game
■will probably be played on the
Ellsworth avenue field.
After a slow start, losing to Wy
oming seminary and the Syracuse
freshmen, Coach Earl Bruce’s
cubs have won their last two
starts, downing Bucknell’s frosh
and the Navy plebes.
Adding to the luster of the game
between the two rivals is the ex
pected clash between Pitt’s star
.halfback, Lou Cimarolli, and
State’s speed demon, Jimmy Finn.
